Fe-Fe 3 C@C composites are successfully synthesized via a facile pyrolysis process. Experimental results indicate that Fe-Fe 3 C nanoparticles are closely parceled among amorphous carbon and exhibit a core–shell structure. The obtained materials display excellent microwave absorption performance with an optimal reflection loss of − 35.6 dB at 17.2 GHz, and an effective absorbing bandwidth of 4 GHz (from 12.4 to 16.4 GHz) with the coating thickness of 2 mm. The magnetic loss derived from Fe core and dielectric loss on carbon materials as well as a good impedance matching are believed to play decisive roles for this favorable microwave absorbing properties. The composites are considered to be good candidates for microwave absorption applications.

In this work, a new non-enzymatic sensor for the determination of glucose was constructed using Fe-doped NiMoO4 nanoparticles (NiFeMoO4). Hydrothermal and calcination techniques were successfully used to synthesis different proportion nanoparticles of Ni1−xFexMoO4 (x = 0, 0.01, 0.03, 0.05). A set of electrochemical measurements demonstrated that all of the Ni1−xFexMoO4 have electrocatalytic properties to glucose. Especially, Ni0.99Fe0.01MoO4 (x = 0.01) displayed the most excellent amperometric response to glucose in the range of 0.01∼13 mM with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.29 μM (S/N = 3). This amperometric sensor also showed satisfactory anti-interference performance and stability. More significantly, the sensor's applicability was tested using a glucose assay in actual serum samples with acceptable results.

ABSTRACT Owing to Fe being the most abundant and least expensive transition metal on the earth, the utilization of Fe-based catalysts for catalytic hydrogenation has attracted worldwide attention. In this work, a series of N-doped C supported Fe catalysts (Fe-N-C) were prepared by co-pyrolysis of cellulose and ferric chloride under ammonia atmosphere. Characterization methods such as elemental analysis, atomic absorption spectroscopy, nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms, transmission electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were carried out to explore the physicochemical properties of the catalysts. Using hydrogenation of nitrobenzene as a model reaction, the catalysts prepared at different pyrolysis temperatures displayed different activities. Fe-N-C-700 exhibited the best activity among these catalysts, with the yield of aniline being up to 98.0% under 5 MPa H 2 at 120 °C after 12 h. Combined with the results of catalyst characterization and comparative tests, the transformation of Fe species and the generation of N-doped C, especially graphitized N-doped C, in the catalyst may be the main factors affecting the activity. A kinetic study was carried out and the apparent activation energy was obtained as 31.53 kJ/mol. The stability of the catalyst was also tested and no significant decrease in the activity was observed after 5 runs.

Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition with significant unmet medical needs, characterized by high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and accompanying oxidative stress. In this study, we developed a novel single-atom iron nanozyme (Fe-N 3 ), designed to mimic natural antioxidant enzymes, for the effective treatment of psoriasis. By optimizing the local coordination environment of Fe atoms, Fe-N 3 demonstrated superior superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APx), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx)-like activities compared to Fe-N 4 . These properties enable efficient ROS scavenging and oxidative stress alleviation. Theoretical analyses revealed that Fe-N 3 possesses lower energy barriers for ROS decomposition, explaining its superior catalytic performance. Furthermore, in vitro and in vivo experiments have demonstrated that Fe-N 3 nanozyme exhibited remarkable therapeutic effects with extremely low cytotoxicity, effectively inhibiting pathological epidermal proliferation, downregulating key inflammatory factors, and reducing the expression levels of psoriasis-associated pathway proteins. This work highlights the promise of single-atom nanozymes in the curing of inflammatory skin diseases, advancing the transformative role of nanotechnology in biomedicine.

Summary. Electrochemical water decomposition as a crucial approach for the gradual growth of renewable energy has attracted extensive attention. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) which benefit from ultra-high specific surface area, controllable nanostructures, and excellent porosity have been widely used as high activity catalyst for the decomposition of water by electrochemical means. Herein, the composition and morphology of metal–organic framework nanoclusters with bimetallic Co/Fe-incorporated PTA/FDA nanoclusters is designed for efficient and durable OER electrocatalysts, including CoFe-BTC/PTA, CoFe-BTC/FDA, and CoFe-PTA/FDA. The crystal structure of MOF materials is composed of alternating organic hydrocarbon BTC, PTA, or FDA and inorganic metal oxide layer. Co and Fe interact as central atoms, joining BTC, PTA, or FDA ligands to form a highly symmetric MOF structure. The electronic structures and active sites of various metals are different, and the insertion of iron atoms plays a certain role in the regulation of their electronic structures. CoFe-PTA/FDA shows significant OER overpotential (1.525 V vs. RHE) reached 10 mA cm-2, with 62.85 mV dec-1 for Tafel slope and pretty conspicuous stability (72 hours of continuous testing). The DFT calculation results show coordination unsaturated metal atom is the primary active center of these electrocatalytic reaction, and the coupling effect caused by adding Fe is the key to adjust the electrocatalytic activity.

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), especially Fe-MOFs, have shown prospective application in eliminating organic dyes from wastewater due to their well-developed pores, water stability, easy preparation, and economy. Herein, we synthesized four types of Fe-MOFs (such as MIL-88A, MIL-88B, MIL-100, and MIL-101) using the hydrothermal method. The products were analyzed with several methods. By comparing the adsorption effect of those four types of Fe-MOFs on three kinds of dyes, it has been shown that MIL-100 owns the best adsorption efficiency on cationic organic dyes methylene blue (MB) and Rhodamine B (RhB) in 180 min, while all MOFs have slight removal capacity on methyl orange (MO). MIL-100, as an adsorbent, was studied under various research conditions, and the maximum removal efficiencies to MB, RhB, and MO were found to be up to 97.36%, 88.75%, and 13.00%, respectively. Furthermore, cationic dye MB’s removal by MIL-100 was fitted with a pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir isotherm model (Qm = 411.041 mg/g) by adsorption kinetics and isotherms research, and MIL-100 could rapidly and selectively divide MB from a binary complex aqueous solution of MB and MO. The as-fabricated MIL-100 also exhibited excellent recyclability after four adsorption–desorption recycles and can be treated as a potential substance with high removal efficiency of cationic organic dye-containing industrial effluents.

NiFe2O4and TiO2are widely studied for photoelectrochemical (PEC) applications due to their unique properties. Nitrogen-doped graphene (NG) and metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), such as MIL-100(Fe) (where MIL stands for Materials of Lavoisier Institute), are commonly incorporated to enhance PEC performance by offering a high surface area and facilitating efficient charge transport. Composite systems are commonly employed to overcome the limitations of individual PEC catalysts. In this study, a highly efficient NiFe2O4/NG@MIL-100(Fe)/TiO2photoanode was developed to enhance photoelectrochemical water-splitting performance. The composite was synthesized via a hydrothermal method with a two-step heating process. X-ray diffraction confirmed the expected crystal structures, with peak broadening in NiFe2O4indicating reduced crystallite size and increased lattice strain. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy of the Ni 2p and Fe 2p regions validated the successful integration of NiFe2O4into the composite. Electrochemical analysis demonstrated excellent performance, with linear sweep voltammetry achieving a peak photocurrent density of 3.5 mA cm−2at 1.23 V (vs RHE). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy revealed a reduced charge-transfer resistance of 50 Ω, indicating improved charge transport. Optical and electronic properties were evaluated using UV-Vis spectroscopy and Tauc plots, revealing a direct bandgap of 2.1 eV. The composite exhibited stable photocurrent under amperometric J-t testing for 2000 s, demonstrating its durability. These findings underscore the potential of NiFe2O4/NG@MIL-100(Fe)/TiO2as a promising material for renewable energy applications, particularly in photoelectrochemical water splitting.

As strategic emerging industries represented by clean energy technologies develop rapidly, gallium (Ga), one of the critical elements due to its use in these technologies and limited supply, has attracted worldwide attention. The discovery of appropriate materials to adsorb Ga is crucial for improving the utilization of Ga resources. With the goal to recover Ga ions more efficiently and selectively, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and amino-functionalized MIL-53 series metal–organic skeletons were hydrothermally synthesized into CNT/NH2-MIL-53(Fe) composite adsorbents. The composite's morphology, structure, chemistry and other physicochemical features were characterized, and the adsorption conditions including pH, initial Ga concentration, along with adsorbent dosage were optimized. The outcomes suggest that 2-CNT/NH2-MIL-53(Fe) performs better than the unmodified material in adsorption, and the theoretical maximum adsorption amount of Ga is 1483.8 mg g−1. The adsorption exhibited a single layer chemisorption with an endothermic spontaneous reaction. The adsorption mechanism for Ga onto 2-CNT/NH2-MIL-53(Fe) was mainly via ion exchange and chelation, accompanied by hydrogen bond interaction. The outstanding adsorption capacity and reproducibility using CNT/NH2-MIL-53(Fe) composites provide a novel method for adsorbing Ga from aqueous solutions.

Looking for non-noble metal catalysts with low cost, high activity, and high stability to replace platinum in oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) has aroused great concern. According to previous studies, Fe-N x /C material is one of the most promising non-noble metal catalysts for ORR. In this study, new Fe-N x /C material was synthesized by introducing CeO 2 and Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles into a Fe-N x /C material derived from ZIF-8 as precursors. The new material was called CeO 2 -Fe 3 O 4 @Fe-N/C catalyst and the activity of the catalyst was found to be significantly improved in 0.1 mol L −1 KOH. The half-wave potential of CeO 2 -Fe 3 O 4 @Fe-N/C (0.892 V) is higher than that of Pt/C by 67 mV. In the stability test, the half-wave potential of CeO 2 -Fe 3 O 4 @Fe-N/C was only reduced by 4 mV after 5,000 cycles. The high performance is attributed to the introduction of CeO 2 and Fe 3 O 4 , which gives CeO 2 -Fe 3 O 4 @Fe-N/C enhanced electrocatalytic activity and long-term stability. This approach makes CeO 2 -Fe 3 O 4 @Fe-N/C a promising candidate for cathode catalysts in renewable energy conversion devices.

Lignin primarily composed of methoxylated phenylpropanoid subunits is an abundant biomass that can be used to produce aromatics. Herein, a series of non-precious bimetallic Ni–Fe/AC catalysts were prepared for efficiently depolymerizing lignin. When organosolv birch lignin was used to determine the efficiency of the catalysts in methanol solvent, the Ni1–Fe1/AC (the ratio of Ni and Fe was 1 : 1) achieved the highest total yield of monomers (23.2 wt%, mainly propylguaiacol and propylsyringol) at 225 °C under 2 MPa H2 for 6 h. From GPC analysis, it is also proved that lignin was efficiently depolymerized. The Ni–Fe alloy structure was formed according to XRD, HRTEM, H2-TPR and XPS characterization. Based on the model compounds’ tests, the Ni1–Fe1/AC catalyst showed high efficiency in ether bond cleavage without hydrogenation of aromatic rings which could be attributed to the synergistic effect of Ni and Fe on the alloy structure. The total yield of monomers by using the Ni1–Fe1/AC catalyst reached 39.5 wt% (88% selectivity to PG and PS) when birch wood sawdust was used as the substrate.

Pd/Fe bimetallic particles were synthesized by chemical deposition and used to remove absorbable organic halogens (AOX) in the activated sludge of a chemical dyestuff wastewater treatment plant. Bath experiments demonstrated that the Pd/Fe bimetallic particles could effectively remove AOX. It indicated several factors, such as Pd loading, the amount of Pd/Fe used, initial activated sludge pH, and reaction time, which could affect the removal effect. The results showed that increasing the Pd content in Pd/Fe particles, from 0.01 to 0.05 wt %, significantly increased the removal efficiency of AOX in activated sludge. The Pd/Fe particles had a much higher removal efficiency of AOX in the activated sludge than bare Fe particles. A slightly acidic condition with a Pd content of 0.05% and 10 g/L of Pd/Fe was beneficial to the process of removing AOX in activated sludge. In detail, the removal efficiency of AOX in the activated sludge could reach 50.7% after 15 days of reaction with 10 g/L of Pd/Fe (Pd loading 0.05 wt %) and at an initial pH of 6.0 during the experiments. It also showed that the control samples without Fe0and Fe/Pd additions only removed 7.9% of AOX under the same conditions. Meanwhile, the concentrations of AOX in the supernatant of activated sludge were lower than the initial AOX concentration in the supernatant during the activated sludge remediation with Pd/Fe bimetallic particles. The results indicated that the AOX removal from the activated sludge matrix might be mainly due to the Pd/Fe bimetallic particles, and not just by phase transfer.

As the representative volatile chlorinated hydrocarbons detected in wastewater, the removal of composite chlorinated ethenes is a major challenge in wastewater treatment. In the present study, an efficient removal system for composite chlorinated ethenes was reported, in which gallic acid was used to enhance the activation of persulfate by Fe/Ni nanoparticles. The influences of gallic acid-Fe/Ni and persulfate concentrations, initial pH value, reaction temperature, inorganic anions, and natural organic matters were evaluated in the composite chlorinated ethenes removal. Our results showed that the gallic acid-Fe/Ni-persulfate system with 9.0 mM of gallic acid-Fe/Ni and 30.0 mM of persulfate yielded about 100% trichloroethylene removal and 97.3%-98.6% perchloroethylene removal in the pH range of 3.0–12.0. Electron paramagnetic resonance analysis and radical quenching experiments indicated that SO 4 •− and • OH were the predominant radical species under acidic and alkaline conditions. Ultraviolet visible spectroscopy and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer tests revealed the Fe-gallic acid chelation could regulate the concentration of iron ions and improve the reactivity of gallic acid-Fe/Ni. These results demonstrated that the gallic acid-Fe/Ni-persulfate system was a promising strategy for treating composite chlorinated ethenes-containing wastewater.
